For all that money, I heard maybe 5 advertisements on the radio here in Massachusetts. Since we're a safe state, and we have this stupid EC in place, we're completely ignored (which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it points out the stupidity of the EC proces).

Thats total on the election. The Rep spent the same, they just invested a little more wisely.

It is kind of astounding that the only win they really had was in a Democratic state and in a race where they really had no opposition.

I heard $300M, or perhaps that was just for the Presidency.

It's become officially insane.

This may be total BS, but I heard that in South Dakota both parties combined averaged out to almost $10,000 per person in the state, spent on campaigning in this election.
